I don't know

I haven't cut in a while. Since I think Jan 26th but I'm not too sure. Anyway, all I really want to do right now is cut. And I just came home from a psychiatrist appointment and therapy. She had asked if I haven't cut since then and I told her yeah I've been good and then she looked at my arm to see if it was healing. But for some reason, I can't help but want to cut right now. I really want to but then at the same exact time I don't but I think to urge to do it is going to win. I mean, everyone is human and its okay if I make a mistake right??? She might be disappointed in me (not too much but just a little bit) but I don't know.....

Don't cut...Yes everyone makes a mistake but when you do cut it just shatters your world. Therapy for me is always a trigger even if you don't talk about it. Not only will your therapist be disappointed but you will too.

i can relate......please don't cut.....it's a slippery slope.....everyone is human, but think about how far you've come now....think about how hard it's been and if you cut then you have to start all over...instead of saying,"this is another day that i haven't cut" say "this is another day of kicking the habit and breaking free of this taking over my life!!!!"

Everyone makes mistakes but you can't just cut the rest of your life and say that every day. You have to grow and not rely on cutting. I haven't cut in over a year and now I feel pretty damn good and really proud of myself. I quit smoking too 73 days ago. You can be proud too and it starts with today!

i think what you felt was very normal. she triggered you by bringing to the front of your mind.

I hope you were able to fend off the urge. and if you were not able to - then I just offer supportive HUGS to you.
